HOW BANKS ARE ROBBED.

The Tricks by Which the Governments Bank
Examiners Are Deceived.
Philadelphia Times.
In banks where the business lives in books it
would seem as If there could be no means of
continued fraud. The receiving teller can steal
very freely, of course, for a time, by pocketing
deposits, entering them on the depositors' pass
book but nowhere else. When the pass book
comes in for settlement the book keeper, whose
DUTY it is to balance, must be party to the fraud
or there will De trouble and everything Is at
once exposed. The paying teller gets so much
money in the morning and returns his balance
and checks and drafts in the evening. He can't
do anything. The United States bank exam
liner pops in unexpectedly one morning and
walks over to the vault and asks:
"How much money do you want for to-day's
business ?"
They want much.
'"Take it out" and he notes the count and
takes possession of the rest So you would think
that the cashier was shut out ard the president
of the board OF directors could not do anything
crooked. But it's big mountain which no road
leads around, and when the examiner is fairly at
work the cashier some one personally borrows
the deficit. does it up in the required form, the
president engages the examiner in conversation,
the needed parcel is supplied, serves its purpose
and in due time is returned to its owner.

Democrats in y Bay way.
Philadelphia Times (Dem.,


The Democrats Of Philadelphia seem to be
happy only when they are miserable They
have had more wrangles during the last ten
years than any majority party in any city dur
ing the same period; the more they get whipped
the moro they wrangle; and when they stumble
into success, they attempt TO prove their fitness
for power by declaring every Democrat in place
to be unfit for recognition or leadership. When
the Democrats elected President there were
not less than 5000 who confidently expected Of
fee. with probably another 900 who had sneak
ing expectations of Office striking them. To sat
isfy these thousands there were less than half q
score of lucrative positions and not less than 500
lesser positions at all attainable under the civil
service laws which all Democrats enthusiastical-
ly favored when the other party was in power.
OF these many applicants there were not less
than a score who had in some way individually
effected Cleveland's nomination or election, and
there were hundreds who could swear that they
had individually elected Randall to Congress,
and each confidently expected Randall to stop
the wheels of Democratic government until he
was snugly fixed in q first-class place.

MISS VAN LEW.
How Her Loyalty to the Uns6n Was Rewarded

by the General OF the Army.
Richmond " a. Special.
Miss E. L.. Van Lew. whose recent removal
from her clerkship in the Postoffice Department
in Washington has caused much discussion,
is in this city visiting friends. For eight years
ing that time she was postmaster, and not only
on this account, but because it known that
President Grant was her stanch hacker, she was
not interfered with by those of her party who
would have been glad to get her out of the way.
She is native of Richmond, though her family
are Pennsylvaniars.
When the war began she gave her sympathies
openly to the side Of the North. and while this
course had tendency to mako her unpopular in
ances were put down to eccentricity rather than
any thing else, and it not considered
that she was In position to harm
the confederate government But in
this opinion the authorities evidently
found themselves afterware incorrect, for the
first person General Grant asked for and called
on when he reached this place was Miss Van
as postmistress of Richmond. She was strict
disciplinaran. and during her official career
one occasion quite numbe of carriers rebelled
against ono of her regulations, and threatened
to leave il she did not back down. She, how
ever, promptly removed the entire number, and
though they appealed to Washington. she was
not interfered with. and her officials after that
stood in awe of her. During the war sne was a
constant visitor to the federal prisoners IN Lib
by prison and endeavored in many ways to
tighten their confinement, and when number
of them succeeded in getting out of prison by
the famous mine exploit she had five or six of
the party secreted in a summer house in ner
yard, and fed them for nearly two weeks. Miss
Van Lew is very small and not of robust make.
